PG: has anyone tried reaching out to SendGrid to give a comment? I'm sure if you gave a call they'd say something :)

I was responding to "Her role is to speak for the company" But yes, you do point out something strange about her tweets. Unfortunately, many people approach this issue with a double standard

"I routinely think we'd all be better off if it just went away." I fully agree that Twitter has done a disservice to our discourse.

" ... I hope they reconsider, bring you back on ..." She didn't fire the guy. The most she could say is that she doesn't think he should have been fired over this, and I read that part of the quote (repeated above) as reflection of my poin

Read your article: "we will not comment on all the factors that contributed to our parting ways." I still suspect this was a firing for many reasons, not just this incident.

I for one am glad that everyone overreacted and the situation blew up. If this was swept under the rug or if there was an apology, this would have been a one-off event. The fact that people are overreacting, I hope, forces the community t

She says she works for SendGrid but I thought people usually use a separate corporate twitter account (or set up a different one for those issues)

"here is STILL no evidence for this fact beyond the anonymous pastebin" Exactly! The employer may have been itching for a reason to fire the guy, and this proved convenient.

The problem with this line of argument is that she didn't intend to get him fired. The most that should have happened was a larger discussion. The fact that he was fired was an overreaction by the employer , not her.

"the issue of being labeled as the "tattletale" probably plays a big part in most women's reluctance to report real harassment." This isn't just in tech. Some females testified before congress that the same problem was happening in the mil

People want Adria to apologize for actions that were outside of her control (like the guys getting fired). If anything, the overreaction by everyone involved merely proves that the issue of gender in the industry is still significant.

If this depends on the individual APIs (especially twitter) and sees any sort of traction, isn't there a massive risk that one of the providers could block access to streamified?

I wrote potential because, although I see it as a joke between two people, I can see how others could be offended.

by niggler 14y ago
the same people who agree that "we didn't mean any harm" is not a valid defense for them offer a "she didn't mean any harm" as a defense for Adria's decision to publicly broadcast her complaint. You misinterpret the reaction. I'm not sugge

"She overreacted as did the man's employer, and she has not shown any remorse." The problem is that people are attributing to her certain actions that she was not involved in. She didn't fire the guy; the employer did, based on his interpr

It's almost too late to do that. Products that were slowly grinding are now seeing much more traction, and the initial exodus has passed. There may be a second one when it is officially stopped, but it would be difficult to compete with t

They changed that specific article's rendering. When I and others looked earlier today, it was a real mess. My original comment was near the top when "jpilcher" showed up (based on his responses, it was roughly 1-2 hours after I saw the ar
